He wasn't a big promo guy like Ric Flair but he was so big and intimidating that when there was a microphone by him, you knew shit was gonna get real when it was his turn to wrestle. Kinda like when Brock Lesnar wrestles nowadays. I think Lesnar is more like Vader than Braun Strowman

Vader was one of my favorites, but I guess I'm in the minority about Starrcade 93 being a great match. The size difference made it difficult for Flair to do anything except punch, I thought Race interfered too much in the early stages, and I didn't like the finish. The crowd carried the match though, the most excitement for a WCW house in years. RIP Vader, arguably the greatest monster heel of all time.

I was going to say Dusty Rhoades was a guy that never had to change, baby face or heel. He was always the same dude as well. There was a time in WCW when everyone was a babyface and everyone was a heel... the only difference was what was going on in the specific feud happening at the time. Ric vs Nikita, Ric was a good guy. Then Nikita got to be a part of the Super Powers and was a good guy, so when Ric and Nikita matched up Ric was the heel. Dusty was baby face and heel a lot.
